It features 8 reverb algorithms, from old school reverb types like Hall, Room, Plate and Accu Spring, to modern algorithms that include Reverse, Grail Flerb, Grail Spring and Echo.

All these modes are then tweakable to your preference via the six knobs, while handsfree realtime operation are afforded by the two foot switches. All these features are packed in a colorful stompbox that's around twice the size of regular stompboxes.

Pros

While some did mention churchy and atmospheric, the word "heavenly" best matches the both user sentiment and the label of the pedal. While it's not the be all and all, reports of the EHX Cathedral Stereo reverb's versatility are plenty, with many stating that they were able to conjure various sonic landscapes, from classic surf to infinite reverb ambience. Reliability and the artistic decal on the front fascia of the pedal were also well received, matching the pedal's ear candy with eye candy that easily stands out in a pedalboard.

Cons

While versatility is always a good thing, there will always be some who will be deterred by complex controls and tweaking, and a few of them shared their comments via reviews. There was a user who complained about the EHX Cathedral not working too well with his acoustic-electric guitar.
